ARTS 121 - Art Hist: Clsc Thms in W. Art

Institution:

King's College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

Arts

Description:

This course surveys basic themes of art within Western Civilization. Artists through the ages have portrayed basic stories, drawn from myth, religion, and history, that show people's realities and fantasies, fears and hopes. These stories reflect the concerns of the past, while they often resonate with us today, and provide a foundation of a common culture. Students will read key stories from our heritage (especially from the Bible and Greek Mythology), look at and interpret art about them, and analyze their impact on our culture. We will draw especially on the Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian traditions to provide a basis for appreciating art, its changing styles and techniques, and ourselves.
